I was not sure about that, and yes we should do that instead but I'm not
sure about how.

bus-type sounds great, but the numbering doesn't match so I was thinking instead
something like phy-type with a string or use the numbers from include/dt-bindings/phy/phy.h

The thing is, do we want to keep the dual dp+usb3 as static ? I think it's very possible
a board would connect the combo phy to an USB3 A connector and a 2lanes DisplayPort connector.
